can you try on a clean smf 1.0.5 installation?

-

intenta en una instalacion nueva de prueba de 1.0.5, debe jalar sin problemas, a menos que tengas otros mods que modifiquen ssi.php

Very nice and works perfectly.

When you go into the whos online. It looks jst like before. How can I get this to look like it should with this mod instead of just like the SMF who is online ppage.

As i said on mod description:

Is STRONGLY recommended to install this mod also (for a detailed view of what is being crawled):
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=19243.0

Hi all, I encountered a slight problem when I tried to manually keyed-in the mod.

I am running:
SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public
Bar of Experience v1.2 (latest & compatible with SMF 1.1 Beta 3)
Mambo Integration v1.0 (latest & compatible with SMF 1.1 Beta 3)
Trying to run:
Googlebot & Spiders Mod v1.0.4

I edited each and every file that is required. Installed the mod and every file was installed successfully.

When I tried to access "Features and Options", this error was reported;

Code Select Expand


Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ARRAY, expecting ')' in /home/gamer/public_html/forums/Sources/ModSettings.php on line 201


Opening up my ModSettings.php to that specific line...

Code Select Expand


// What does it look like?  [smite]?
array('text', 'karmaLabel'),
array('text', 'karmaApplaudLabel'),
array('text', 'karmaSmiteLabel'),
array('rule'),
array('heading', &$txt['ob_googlebot_modname']),
// Count all instances of spiders?
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_agent'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_own_list'),
array('rule'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_most_online')
);  // <<<----- Line 201

return $config_vars;
}


I added the extra bit to highlight Line 201. Could someone help to debug the code? I suspect I could have edited the ModSettings.php incorrectly.

[basis]

I think I found the problem in my code.... was missing a comma at the last line of important code.

'array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_most_online'),' <---

Anyway I can now access the Spider/Googlebot options in the "Features And Options" page. But am I supposed to see the 'Spiders' word in the "Users Online" segment of the forum?

And I just wanted to confirm... for the ModSettings.php file, we add the code BEFORE or AFTER? (maybe there is still a bug in my code)

Code Select Expand

<file name="$sourcedir/ModSettings.php">
<operation>
<search position="after"><![CDATA[
);

return $config_vars;
}]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
array('heading', &$txt['ob_googlebot_modname']),
// Count all instances of spiders?
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_agent'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_own_list'),
array('rule'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_most_online'),]]></add>
</operation>
</file>

The above code was from the Install.xml file. Notice it said AFTER.... however I got my page working BEFORE the search parameters... Can anyone offer insights to what is wrong here?

[Omar Bazavilvazo]

it is looking the string AFTER where is supposed to be inserted

[basis]

Hi Omar, this was what I found.

I can see the 'GoogleBot & Spiders' in the "Features & Options" menu, if the ModSettings.php code was like this:

Code Select Expand

array('rule'),
array('heading', &$txt['ob_googlebot_modname']),
// Count all instances of spiders?
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_agent'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_own_list'),
array('rule'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_most_online'),
);

return $config_vars;
}


I do not see the 'GoogleBot & Spiders' in the "Features & Options" menu, if the ModSettings.php code was like this:

Code Select Expand

array('rule'),
);

return $config_vars;
}

array('heading', &$txt['ob_googlebot_modname']),
// Count all instances of spiders?
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_all_instances'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_agent'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_display_own_list'),
array('rule'),
array('check', 'ob_googlebot_count_most_online'),

Is this correct? I know its supposed to be AFTER the search position, but if I put the new code AFTER, I can't even access the "Features & Options" page.

Sorry for asking this question twice, but thats what I observed. Or maybe I should PM you my forum URL so you can take a look? Is that possible?

[Kindred]

no... for boardmod installs, insert after means insert the new code after the searched code...    for XML installs, after means find the seaqrched code, which will be after the new code (so the new code is actually inserted BEFORE the searched code... even though the XML reads "after")

[basis]

Kindred - thanks for explaining what XML installs do... but it opens up another can of worms for me...

If AFTER (XML install) actually installs BEFORE the searched code... what does BEFORE (XML install) do?

Is there a URL or thread in this forum that discusses about the perils of installing via XML? I did try to do a search but came up with zilch... either that or I didn't key in the right key-words to do a proper search.

It still doesn't solve my problem, but I will take an attempt at the code before asking for more help.

[Kindred]

lol... what do you expect?// the before XML tag inserts the new code AFTER the searched code...

[basis]

hahaha... okie I managed to figure out my problem after CAREFULLY and SLOWLY going through the code. Of course now that I have been enlightened to the differences between BEFORE/AFTER XML installs...

and I found some sort of documentation (which is actually mentioned in the XML install header).

http://www.simplemachines.org/xml/modification

Now back to more coding...

[basis]

egads! I spoke too soon.

Okie this is the problem.
I was previously tackling the modifications that Googlebot & Spiders will make to the SSI.php file. It has some issues which kept causing Mambo to crash.

I thought I fixed it by going carefully through the install code and I managed to get Mambo to run together with SMF.

However now when I enter SMF and attempt to click on the Packages menu - it comes up with just a BLANK SCREEN!!!

Gosh one problem after another - I think I won't have so much problems if I could find out a reason why the Package Manager did not work for me in the first place

Edit: Realised the problem was due to uploading of a mod with *.gz extension. Strange that alone could cause SMF to not load properly.

i got a error when installing

Can someone please help me

[Kindred]

bw more specific.... what version of the mod and what version of SMF are you running?  The current mod has been updated and now only works on 1.1b3

[binary]

i upgraded to the beta version of smf (SMF 1.1 Beta 3 Public) and when i try and install it now i only get one failed file ./Sources/ModSettings.php is the only one that has failed. if i can fix that file i should be fine

[Gargoyle]

I am using 1.0.5 and I tried to install it using the package installer. It said the file was corrupted or not compatable.
